A derelict former pub which has recently been engulfed in flames is one step closer to being brought back to use.
Broadland Council gave the green light for the former Griffin site in Thorpe St Andrew to be demolished in January following a suspected arson attack.
But a consultation has now been launched this month after Sequential Investors and Housing 21 teamed up to bring forward the scheme to bring the site back into use.
The developer s plans would see 83 Extra Care apartments – all of which will be available for social rent – being built for older people of modest means.
